It's time for another wonderful color challenge at the CR84FN Challenge Blog! Thanks so much to those who played along with this past challenge. The colors for the next two week challenge are Green, Tan and Brown.

Since I still have a lot of Christmas cards left to create, I used this weeks colors to create a cute Mitten card. I used the Winter Mitten Template (also available as a PDF), cutting the template with the eCraft, from Kraft and Vanilla card stock.

I embossed the mitten using the Texture Fades Snowflake Embossing folder, and the cuff with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes folder. The snowflakes are highlighted with White Distress Stain, once dry, I stamped the small snowflake from Our Daily Bread Designs Peace and Joy set in Ranger Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, then sponged the edges of both the mitten and cuff. My friend Sue, recently sent me some of the Tim Holtz Pine Cone Die Cuts, and I thought they'd be fun to embellish the mitten. Once the pine cones were assembled, I added some Rock Candy Stickles. I added a little tag using the sentiment from ODBD's Warm Wishes set and some Zva Creative Pearls.

Here's this weeks color inspiration, we'd love for you to play along with us at CR84FN, you can find all the details here on how to enter. If you upload to any online gallery please use keyword CR84FN43 so we can find your creations!
